what's up, 2008?

it's been just over three months since i sprained my right-ankle playing soccer at trinity-bellwoods park, and last night was my first time playing soccer since. serge of the sargento brothers organized a big match-up at toronto fc's bmo field. yeah, it was pretty exciting getting to play there. i mean, that's where david beckham practiced over the summer. the turf was suprisingly very similar to real grass. perhaps a tad softer, too. anyway, it was great to get out and play after a few cold months of staying indoors. about halfway through the game, took a shot from a breakaway, and stubbed my foot on the grass. my ankle hurts when i turn or twist it in a certain position, but it wasn't swollen. hopefully its just a minor bruise.


mike felt too nervous about playing, so he sat on the side throughout the game.


in action.

in other soccer related news, INTER BO DE FC begins their 2008 campaign later this evening at the downsview hangar indoor turf field. i've been looking forward to this for quite some time. this years squad has had some minor changes, but team morale & confidence is definitely higher than it was last summer, where we went winless throughout the season. we put up a hell of a fight for most of those meetings, however. captain milewski has promised his team slices of pizza from massimo's should we win our first game. i hope we don't dissappoint.

with our soccer season starting this evening, i will no longer neglect this blogspot, as you, the reader, can expect weekly updates and reviews of each IBDFC match.
in regards to other happenings in my life, i will leave you only with a list of records that were released in 2007 that i really enjoyed. enjoy!
